Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On August 27, 2010, Schlumberger Limited (“Schlumberger”) completed its previously announced merger with Smith International, Inc. (“Smith”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of February 21, 2010 (the “Merger Agreement”) among Schlumberger, Smith and Turnberry Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Schlumberger (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub merged with and into Smith (the “Merger”), with Smith continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Schlumberger.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Smith common stock (other than those held by Smith or its subsidiaries) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive 0.6966 shares of Schlumberger common stock. Smith stockholders will receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Schlumberger common stock that they would otherwise be entitled to receive in the Merger.

In connection with the Merger, Schlumberger issued approximately 176 million shares of its common stock (of which approximately 76 million were issued from its treasury shares), which represents approximately 12.9% of its outstanding common stock after giving effect to such issuance. In addition, Schlumberger reserved for issuance approximately 0.7 million additional shares of Schlumberger common stock in connection with the exercise or conversion of Smith’s outstanding equity awards, which became exercisable for or convertible into Schlumberger common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as Exhibit 2.1 to Schlumberger’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 22, 2010 and is incorporated by reference herein.
